A brief follow-up on this, for what it's worth: I did receive a tracking number today for my replacement Dirty Pair Blu-Rays, although as of this moment FedEx doesn't "have the package" yet.

Another Twilight Zone episode I was already familiar with raised my interest on getting to "The Fever": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/478311.html

My latest once-a-year trip through the Star Wars movies picked up some months after the latest theatrical re-release: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/478149.html

The Twilight Zone takes an unusual road trip with "The Hitch-Hiker": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/477750.html

An extended first look at a manga several decades old that sends its heroine much further back in time, Red River: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/477598.html

The Twilight Zone stuck with science fiction with "I Shot an Arrow into the Air," and also had me thinking of its previous SF episodes: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/477267.html

Getting back to assembling a "Gunpla" model kit and trying a few simple tricks to improve its appearance: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/476982.html

After supposing The Twilight Zone was getting back to science fiction from the title "Third from the Sun," it also got back to something I hadn't quite expected: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/476731.html

A few further experiments with the Snow emulator (one of which led to setting up an actual antique Macintosh): krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/476671.html

"The Four of Us Are Dying" was an intriguing title for a Twilight Zone episode by itself; the episode itself was complicated but intriguing: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/476170.html

Starting into the last "Peanuts Every Sunday" colour collection (on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the strip's appearance) and reading through to the end: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/476155.html

I did, anyway, find and read a recent science fiction novel in "Exiles" by Mason Coile: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475794.html

"What You Need" had me thinking of previous Twilight Zone episodes before it offered an interesting change: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475615.html

Another three months of anime watched ranged from DAN DA DAN, My Dress-Up Darling, and CITY through to Minky Momo and Urusei Yatsura: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475259.html

On to science fiction again (and memories of a different SF work from a few years before it) with the Twilight Zone and "And When the Sky Was Opened": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475098.html

Heading back quite a few years to at last revisit a movie I saw at my university's anime club, Patlabor 2: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/474647.html

Trying to adjust both simulated ImageWriter printouts and the Snow emulator I winkle them out of: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/474423.html

Anticipating The Twilight Zone would go to sea for "Judgment Night": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/474237.html

Sighting the conjunction of the moon and Venus just before dawn: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473974.html

On to another Twilight Zone episode interesting for having been a title before, "Perchance to Dream": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473744.html

My selection of further panels at @animelockdown.bsky.social, taking in history I was there for, stuff blowing up, and more serious business: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473515.html

Getting to "Time Enough at Last" meant getting to a Twilight Zone episode I knew something about through cultural osmosis, enough to wonder what I'd make of it myself: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473206.html

Taking in quite a few panels at the latest @animelockdown.bsky.social: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472914.html

From Epson dot-matrix emulation to ImageWriter dot-matrix emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472723.html

The Twilight Zone returned to science fiction with "The Lonely" and, beyond that, iterated on what's already becoming a familiar theme: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472371.html

A double dose of one fairly new manga, reading Idol x Idol Story!: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472211.html

What made "Escape Clause" different from what I'd known before from a Twilight Zone adaptation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471878.html

Further experiments in getting work out of the Snow emulator turn to Epson dot-matrix emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471676.html

"Walking Distance" was one of the few Twilight Zone stories I've long been aware of through adaptations. It wasn't just seeing the episode itself that seemed to have it offer more impact now: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471434.html

Turning to a recent release of an older manga, the science fiction story They Were 11!: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471276.html

Getting vMac running on Linux and Snow running on a more familiar computer for experiments in antique Macintosh emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471035.html

On realising what the Twilight Zone episode "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine" was about, I wondered what twist it might bring to its subject: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/470559.html

When the latest version of the Color Computer 3 emulator VCC stopped working on my regular computer, I delved into other options even as other old computers were being discussed: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/470397.html

The Twilight Zone episode "Mr. Denton on Doomsday" was interestingly different from what I'd expected: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/470080.html

Things crack up (yet may begin to fit back together) in the eleventh (regular) volume of the Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki "light novels": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/469832.html

My second step into The Twilight Zone involved an episode not adapted into a short story and not brought up to invoke the series, "One for the Angels": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/469733.html

The beginning of the end, perhaps, in the fourteenth double-length volume of the Vinland Saga manga: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/469382.html

A first step into The Twilight Zone, watching an episode I'd long been aware of through an adaptation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/468995.html

Tracking down a look at the US anime and manga industry from three decades ago: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/468935.html

Another three months of anime watched ranged from Albegas and Minky Momo through Attack on Titan and Oshi no Ko to Zenshu and Gundam GQuuuuuuX: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/468728.html

Just back from a cruise up past the Arctic Circle: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/468423.html

As it turned out, I did wind up with something to say about the "Peanuts Every Sunday" collection covering the first half of the 1990s: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/468059.html

Trying an "easy option" to get a particular (TRS-80 Model 100) emulator running on a Linux system actually worked: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/467912.html

Another effort at installing Linux, somewhere in between "just because I can" and "just in case," produces somewhat mixed results: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/467582.html

Following up on my anime convention visit just might have amounted to T-shirt shopping for next year: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/467210.html

Visiting the Anime North convention for only the second time, I did know more of what to expect: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/467042.html

I *probably* saw Voltron in 1984, but happening on the ninth episode of Robotech (The Macross Saga) in October of 1985 was where my interest in that title first rooted.

The seventh volume of the Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! manga did get me considering what it may take to "understand" a story: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/466801.html

Some private sketching shifts a bit more towards Procreate on the iPad, but keeps up the "I did that *myself*" satisfaction: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/466635.html

And now, the "anniversary theatrical re-release" of Revenge of the Sith: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/466194.html
